Easy to say. Difficult when there are sod all jobs in the local area, very few training opportunities for someone who's worked in a factory for 20 years and your mobility is limited by the fact that the property you own is worth a quarter of the price of anywhere you could move to where there are plenty of jobs going.
Moving may not be too difficult if you're young and can doss on a mate's floor whilst getting things together. If you have a family and your house is only worth £40k, it's a bit trickier.
